Toyota AE86 Buying Guide
  • The fuck are you on about? Easily one of the most popular rally cars and belongs in a class of popular classics: eg. Mk2 escorts, evos, classic minis, etc. This is in Ireland at least... don't know about rest of the world

    ‘It’s the same daily misery’: Germany’s terrible trains are no joke for a nation built on efficiency
  • Also thought this when reading the article, multiple times I've had entire journies turn into a nightmare because of train not coming, 2/3/more hour late trains, and yeah local transport is a joke sometimes. The worst is the state of some the stations, Bonn is like a fucking drug camp sometimes and it seems that police and transport staff won't do anything to make it safer or better

    Grusch's DOPSR review was partially released
  • The fact they redacted answers to these questions specifically is even more proof of some kind of cover-up IMO. Absolutely wild they won't release the full document.

    World Bank spent billions of dollars backing fossil fuels in 2022, study finds
  • These headlines infuriate me. What the fuck is the headline or story gonna do? Stop them investing? Fuck no. Push goverments to legislate against them? Fuck no. The headline should, at this point just be: gov/corps aren't going to stop investing in fossil fuels, revolution is needed now.

    But I suppose that's too long a headline

    "why is everyone who immigrated from a communist country to the us a fucking chud?" -- "they moved for a reason. in their home country they (thankfully) cannot spread their reactionary beliefs there"
  • Something I love about that post is that that this is the kind of thing a shiteating bootlicker posts, who the fuck tries to impress some leader like this?? A problem with modern society is focusing power and holding up people in power as better or perfect. Thats not very communist or socialist if you ask me, in fact it implies the existence of a ruling class still.

    "why is everyone who immigrated from a communist country to the us a fucking chud?" -- "they moved for a reason. in their home country they (thankfully) cannot spread their reactionary beliefs there"
  • I remember reading this and hoped it got posted here, I was pissing myself laughing at it like, the arseholes in those communities are absolute fucking morons.

    The point is right in front of their face and they still can't see it (so the my can't screenshot this comment for a post, the point is that those regimes were authoritarian nightmares to live in as an ordinary person). I've said it before and I'll say it again, they're not tankies they're idiots who for some reason love any auth regime and then pretend that life there is so good.

    And everytime I post some shit like this I have to say at the end, I do not like capitalism or the US (also I'm Irish and I live in Austria currently) I would much rather see a socialist state or proper commune style communism, what they admire is basically horrible shit which should be callef Maoism/Stalism/etc.

    EU official from Sweden has been in prison in Iran for over 500 days
  • I watched the vid, what is up with the journalists' responses. Some guy is in prison in iran (the important story) and they're getting offended about their professionalism being attacked?? What do the want the guy to say? That we're dispatching seal team six? If the guy wasn't there on official EU business then of course Swedish government should be the lead?

    Rep. Turner crying foul against more UAP hearings
  • I really hope we see push back against this by other reps, it seems they were definitely getting close to something "they" didn't want people to know. It would be a shame and blatantly transparent something is up if they were stopped now.

    Also isn't the whole point of an oversight committee to uncover things that're being hidden, especially if they're "embarrassing"???

    A friend sent me this, anyone any thoughts?
  • I would have, but I haven't been able to find this exact clip on YouTube yet. I can add to the original post if someone finds it. Edit: found it at the start of another video https://youtu.be/7v8M47YLKE0

    Google is getting ready for the ‘quantum apocalypse’
  • Did you read the article? I will point out that we have/are working on quantum safe encryption algorithms so this is kind of unecessary doom and gloom. I actually work in this area and tbh the algorithms are ready to be implemented whenever companies want to. NIST QSC competition: https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/post-quantum-cryptography

    In fact algorithms like AES are still quantum safe as long as key sizes are increased sufficiently

    Best Sci-Fi TV Shows of the 21st Century
  • Oooof. IMO this list is not correctly ranked at all... how can lost, stranger things, etc. be top 10??? They got a lot of the correct series in the top 40 I guess, but the ranking is awful

    Is there a way we could poll this in the community to get a better ranking?

    Britain says it intercepted two Russian bomber aircraft north of Scotland
  • Why is this news, from the article this looks to be a fairly "routine" event? Not that I support Russia, but I imagine NATO forces are also engaging in similar behaviour somewhere else?

  • I've lurked for a long time in the UFO/UAP subs on reddit and now that I've switched I see a lot less info than before (also it's a new community in lemmy so it needs a bit of time).

    Anyone seen anything interesting in the last weeks regarding David Grusch's statements? Any interesting new theories? Etc.
